Nobody Praying For Me
Seether Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a whisper lost upon wind
I'm the ember that'll burn you down
I'm the water that'll drown you
I'm a star that's just a black hole now
I'm a terrifying danger
I'm a fruit decaying on the ground
I'm a swallower of anger
I'm the tree that falls and makes no sound
I make no sound

And 'cause if I stand up, I break my bones
And everybody loves to see a fall unfold
Ain't nobody giving up
'Cause nobody gives a fuck
Stand up, and break my bones
Everybody wants what they just can't hold
There's nobody praying for me

I am fungus in the forest
I'm a lizard with a poisoned tongue
I'm the child in the manger
I'm the one who sacrificed his son
Rust is showing on my armor
I am wheezing like an old man done
I'm a product of my anger
I'm the bullet in a loaded gun

Stand up, I break my bones
Everybody loves to see a fall unfold
Ain't nobody giving up
'Cause nobody gives a fuck
Stand up, and break my bones
Everybody wants what they just can't hold
There's nobody praying for me

If I stand up, I break my bones
Everybody loves to see a fall unfold
Ain't nobody giving up
'Cause nobody gives a fuck
Stand up, break my bones
Everybody wants what they just can't hold
There's nobody praying for me





(There's nobody praying for me)
There's nobody praying for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Seether's song Nobody Praying For Me paint a picture of someone who feels invisible, like a whisper that can easily be lost in the wind. This person describes themselves as a danger, using metaphors like a star that's become a black hole, water that can drown, or a tree that falls with no sound. There is a sense of hopelessness and despair in the words, as the singer seems to believe that nobody is rooting for them.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as the singer talks about how they feel like they will be broken if they stand up. There is a vulnerability in this admission, as the singer knows that they would be an easy target for anyone looking to see them fall. The repetition of the line "there's nobody praying for me" emphasizes the singer's isolation and the sense that nobody cares about their struggles.


Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of depression and loneliness. The singer's use of metaphors to describe themselves and their situation creates a vivid picture of the emotions that they are dealing with. The chorus is particularly affecting, as it captures the fear and vulnerability of someone who feels like they are all alone.

Traducción

🎤 Soy un susurro perdido en el viento
Soy la brasa que te quemará
Yo soy el agua que te ahogará
Soy una estrella que es solo un agujero negro ahora
Soy un peligro aterrador
Soy una fruta en descomposición en el suelo
Soy un tragador de ira
Soy el árbol que cae y no hace ningún sonido
No hago ningún sonido ...
Porque si me pongo de pie, me romperé los huesos
Y a todos les encanta ver a un enemigo caído
Nadie se da por vencido, porque a nadie le importa una mierda
Ponte de pie y rompe mis huesos
Todo el mundo quiere lo que simplemente no pueden contener
No hay nadie rezando por mí Soy un hongo en el bosque
Soy una lagartija con lengua venenosa
Soy el niño en el pesebre
Yo soy el que sacrifico a su hijo
Se muestra óxido en mi armadura
Estoy resollando como un anciano hecho
Soy un producto de mi enojo
Soy la bala en un arma cargada
Ponte de pie, me romperé los huesos
Y a todos les encanta ver a un enemigo caído
Nadie se da por vencido, porque a nadie le importa una mierda
Ponte de pie y rompe mis huesos
Todo el mundo quiere lo que simplemente no pueden contener
No hay nadie rezando por mí
Porque si me pongo de pie, me romperé los huesos
Y a todos les encanta ver a un enemigo caído
Nadie se da por vencido, porque a nadie le importa una mierda
Ponte de pie y rompe mis huesos
Todo el mundo quiere lo que simplemente no pueden contener
No hay nadie rezando por mí
(No hay nadie rezando por mí)
No hay nadie rezando por mí.

Seether has gotten me through some tough times and no doubt will continue to get me through tough times. They have a song to personify how I'm feeling at any given time whether I know how to describe it or not. I love this band so much.
